You walk in and there’s tables on the left and the bar in the center.

Foosball tables, billiard and pinball to the right. Lots of places to sit, eat and drink.

And order at the bar... A creative bar menu, by Julian Cox and Nick Meyer.

At the media preview of “Rocco’s 29 Tavern” on Sundays and Monday Nights at Rocco’s Tavern.

Where does the “29” reference come from? NFL Hall of Famer Eric Dickerson’s number during his playing days, beginning with the LA Rams.

What a better day to have a preview than during Monday Night Football...

If it’s good enough for a Hall of Famer...

Eric Dickerson sharing insight on creating the menu from growing up in Sealy, Texas.

Some people steal the show and some people steal the shrimp... 😂 Sealy Texas Shrimp deep fried cornmeal shrimp.

Sealy Texas Snapper Red snapper deep fried cornmeal breaded filet.

Lance Bass made an appearance... It was announced that Lance is partnering with Rocco’s Tavern on a new location in West Hollywood. Stay tuned...

A couple of coworkers and I had been talking about going out for Oaxacan food and one of them knew about a place in South LA. We gathered up a few others after work one Friday afternoon and headed to Poncho’s Tlayudas. Look for this sign, cause it’s “Tlayudas Friday” AND it leads to the backyard. (talk about being in the know)

Head down the driveway and order at the grill. They only serve Tlayudas, a traditional Oaxacan dish, but you select the meat: (They don’t have a menu, but here are the choices) Asada - grilled beef Chorizo - Spanish sausage Tasajo - Oaxacan-style beef steak Moronga - pork blood sausage

Like any backyard party, look for the refrigerator for drinks, help yourself. Beer, Water, Coca-Cola ($5) I love the spoon artwork on the back wall

Tlayuda $10 Served on a very large crispy tortilla with asiento (a dark lard), beans, cabbage and Oaxacan cheese. Your meat choice is served on the side. The picture doesn’t show how large the tortilla is, maybe 18” in diameter or larger.
